Efforts to recover the Shareaza Wiki

The Shareaza Wiki has suffered considerable damage due to an attack on our project. We are currently undertaking steps to recover lost pages, verify old and outdated ones and get as much as possible of the damaged content in place on this site again. As this is a long lasting and difficult process, parts of the Wiki are in a bad state, especially where text formatting or parts of the page content have been lost. Note that all verified and updated pages are marked with a banner displaying the update date. If you wish to contribute to the recovery process, please have a look at the MediaWikiRecovery page. Everyone willing to help (in any language version) is always welcome!

Shareaza's Help Website

To find information, use the list of links below as a starting point or enter keywords in the search box on the left and click 'Search'. To contribute to the Wiki, click on the 'Edit' button at the top of the page you would like to update.

How You Can Help

Shareaza is an Open Source project. This means that without a community working on the project, it would just die. Everyone can help - even if you don't know much about computers and this kind of stuff - to make Shareaza better and a greater experience for all its users.
